Your session is officially booked and now comes the fun part! Soon after scheduling you’ll receive a Welcome Guide in your email with tons of wardrobe advice on how to get your family looking their best. In the meantime, I put together a list of 4 Tips to Plan Outfits for Your Photoshoot in Las Vegas
- Start With Color
The easiest place to start wardrobe planning is with your color palette. Think coordinated, not “matched”. Begin by choosing a mix of complimentary neutral colors. Then punctuate with pops of brighter (Not neon!) accent color on individual clothing items and accessories. Or go for a range of shades within your chosen palette individually for each member of your family. Your goal is to create a pulled together, coordinated look that’s natural without being overly “match-y” or “uniformed”.
- Create Interest With Layers & Accessories
Using layers and accessories is a great way to add visual interest and create different “looks” for each family member during your session. Simply adding or removing items like sweaters, vests, or jackets can give you a quick “wardrobe change” between shots.
- Your Home Plays A Role
You should also consider where your portraits are going to be displayed in your home. For larger canvases or framed prints, perhaps intended as the focal point of a family room or dining room, consider your wall colors and the overall décor and style in those rooms as you plan your wardrobe choices.
- Plan in advance. Haircuts and styling are best scheduled around 2 weeks before your shoot. This allows hair to grow out for a more comfortable, true-to-you look. The same rule applies to spray tans. Scheduling too close to your session can cause skin to look more orange than a natural tan color.
